trev Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 dry flies mate Philip, It is horses for courses. ie Where are you going to be using these flies? The old saying of match the hatch! Have a look at what insect life is arround the area you are going to fish. e.g. A Christmas beatle pattern used in the middle of Autumn would not be as effective as the same fly used in summer. If you are looking for a dry fly that you could use as a speculater I would suggest something like a red tag or a stimulater(see below) Stimulator This fly does not really represent any one specific food type rather it is suggestive of a few e.g. grass hopper, cricket... hope this was helpful I am sure others with greater experience might be able to help.

Big-Pete Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 philip, if I had to chose three flies they would be a Red Tag a Royal Wulff and a small brown nymph. If I had to chose more than that I would go a caddis,a Klinkhammer and perhaps a small hopper pattern for this time of year. Each of the flies mentioned I would have in various sizes from a 18 up to a twelve. Just my opinion Big Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfrad Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I found this weekend up at thredbo that the fly was not the most important thing. Any stimulator or attractor patten I used seemed to work just fine. It was more where it was fished and getting a good drift that made the difference.
